Kit Downsizing: MAC Pro Palettes

It’s been no secret that I have been on a downsizing rampage this last week. With the addition of the Z-Palette Z-Potter to my arsenal (video will be out next week) I am now able to depot pretty much anything I own. I had a ton of empty MAC Pro Palettes sitting around and instead of purchasing brand new magnetic palettes for all of my recently depotted shadows, powders, and creams (that would have been costly), I figured I would repurpose those and make use of them. In this post I will go over which MAC Pro palettes I used, how I made them magnetic (heads up they aren’t), and why they are perfect for your depotting and downsizing needs.

Lash Downsizing With Vueset

It seems like this blog is sponsored by Vueset, but I promise you it's not and I have purchased every single palette I have written about!!! I've been focused this year on really trying to make my life easier by carrying less (I haven't quite gotten there yet) but these palettes have really been a dream.

Make Up For Ever Artist Face Colour Palette

In one of my YouTube videos that I released a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that one of my favourite powder blush products to use is the Make Up For Ever Artist Face Colour. I was gifted an entire palette of them from one of my very good friends who received the whole line for free. I wanted to share some more information about this palette: what I love, what I will be removing and what I will be adding to the palette in 2018. This post may give you some insight if you are thinking of building your own palette, believe me it's not an easy thing to do because they have sooo many shades available.

Vueset Nude Lip Palette

I've been talking about downsizing my kit for the last 6 months and it's finally happening. To everyone that recommended the Vueset Tahiti palette THANK YOU! They are the perfect size and now I want to put everything I can into these little guys. As you already know I am obsessed with clean beauty looks, and as a result I have a huge number of nude lipsticks that I love working with. The palette I created has my favourite nudes from MAC, Maybelline and L'Oreal. It contains nudes for all skin tones, both sheer and matte nudes and nudes with a hint of colour.
